You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

BSG (Lords of Kobol)

The Admiral convenes a committee. Everyone else has passed on interrupts, so the check begins. You have voted to use base game ICs, which means Destiny is revealed. I also have a couple of COs:

Destiny: Red Tape 0, Sabotage 3
Gaeta: Consolidate Power 2
Tory: 0 cards
Adama:
Boomer:
Ellen:

Tally: 2 - 3 = -1.

Adama is up next.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG (Ellen)

Oof, I was hoping Destiny would help more. And by more I mean at all.

BSG (Gaeta)

Yeah, and remember, don't play 5's & 6's, because that's what the red tape tosses out.

I have the remaining players' COs:

Destiny: Red Tape 0, Sabotage 3
Gaeta: Consolidate Power 2
Tory: 0 cards
Adama: Executive Order 1
Boomer: 0 cards
Ellen: At Any Cost 3, Declare Emergency 4

Tally: 10 - 3 = 7. Pass! Ellen may look at the loyalty card of one other player. By COs, she has chosen Adama. Card details going out.

Raiders and the jump track both advance. That concludes Ellen's turn. Gaeta has chosen 1Y/1G for his optional draw. Mr Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Adama's clean for now, thank the gods.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (El Presidente Torrrro Loco)

That's funny, I was afraid you'd suspect me for playing 0 cards but of course you need to check ND.

I wouldn't be able to sleep at night otherwise.

BSG (Tory)

I would always be looking at him askance. And I figure if you're a cylon you'd tell us all the admiral was because of course with his track record we'd believe you. Unless you're both cylons in which case telling us all he's not is a great way to inform him you're both on the same team. And if that's the case, humanity is humped.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Felix the Cat)

Yeah, it's early enough that the Cylon info doesn't necessarily tell us that much. It's either good news or bad news! But the way it shook down, it's probably not in between. Although it could be! That's the problem!

Okay, I move to Command preparatorily-like, and I have an XO. Who wants to offer me the best chance to save humanity? I would normally be interested in seeing what Ms. Presidente has to offer, but won't since she's directly after me. Who else? Admiral? More potshots at the basestar? I suppose Boomer should stay in place to defend the inevitable future attack. What about you, Ellen, feel like getting out of your bathrobe and slippers and leaving the Quarters?
